The Umphrey Lee Center, located off the main quad on the west side of campus, is home to four award-winning Meadows School communications divisions: Advertising, Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, Journalism and Film & Media Arts.

The Temerlin Advertising Institute, one of the nation’s only endowed collegiate advertising programs, is located on the first floor. Amenities include a focus group facility, graduate seminar room, computer lab, creative suite, and “Praxis” lab where the National Student Advertising Competition team develops campaigns.

Classrooms for the Division of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs are also located on the main floor along with a presentation room and a dedicated debate meeting room.

The Division of Journalism, also on the main floor, features a state-of-the-art newsroom, a broadcast studio with a control room and green room, conference rooms, and classrooms outfitted with Apple computers at every desk. Journalism majors are permitted secure, 24-hour access to the complex.

The Division of Film & Media Arts is located on the lower level. Amenities include a fully stocked equipment room, including HD, digital, and analog cameras; dollies; lights; and more, as well as a computer edit lab and a newly renovated audio and Foley recording studio.

Also on the lower level is the lavish, all-you-can-eat “RFoC” (Real Food on Campus) cafeteria, with items for every palate including burgers, hot dishes, desserts, a vegan kiosk and a make-your-own waffles station.

The Martha Proctor Mack Grand Ballroom on the third floor is a premium space for large presentations, dinners, lectures and gatherings. Opened in 1955, the Mack Grand Ballroom was renovated in 2010 and features contemporary seating, updated heating and air conditioning and state-of-the-art audio/visual systems. New energy-efficient windows allow natural light to spill in during the daytime, while evening light is provided in part by silver chandeliers that can be raised and lowered from the coffered ceiling. Detailed Georgian architectural crown molding and brackets finish the room.
